How can you meet someone where they are if you don’t know how they perceive the world?
Did you know dementia can change the way a person sees?
Their visual field can become smaller. Contrast can be harder to see. Even the way they perceive colour can change.
These changes can have a big impact on everyday life.
If we don't take vision into account, we might mistake confusion and distress for "refusals" or “difficult behaviours". Leaving the person, as well as their carers feeling frustrated and alone.
What if it wasn't all about the dementia? What if you could do something to help the person and help yourself?
Understanding how the person sees the world can give you ways to adapt your approach and their environment to meet their needs.
There’s no miracle. The changes in the brain are still there.
But understanding what the person may be experiencing can change how you respond and make everyday life easier for both of you.
Join my workshop to understand visual changes in dementia and, most importantly, what you can do about them.
You can gain more:
- More independence and autonomy for your loved one and yourself
- Safer, more manageable daily routines
- Less time spent on hands-on care tasks
- More time for meaningful moments together
- Greater confidence and peace of mind for both of you
The focus is on supporting both of you to feel more at ease, so that care becomes lighter and your time together becomes richer.

Testimonials
"I absolutely cannot praise this workshop enough. I had no expectations beforehand, but had my mind blown when learning how dementia patients might view the world as their illness progresses. Florence is knowledgeable and engaging, and I will definitely be attending other workshops that she runs. I would recommend this course to everyone who loves someone with dementia."
"Florence brings both expertise and deep compassion to her work. Her teaching on how to deal with dementia goes far beyond knowledge. Florence's approach offers understanding, humanity, and hope. She supports caretakers and caregivers with sensitivity, helping them navigate the most challenging moments with confidence and care."
"Florence is great at breaking down the different concepts around dementia design and explaining it clearly and with lots of practical examples. Thank you Florence!!"
